@briankrebs It’s #TACO Tuesday, so naturally #Trump has chickened out of #Nvidea chip ban on #China.
This would be a very welcome development if we thought for a minute he was serious about it.
But, you know, #TACO.
I heard on the radio this morning that the Russian stock market was up 3% on the news, which I guess tells you all you need to know about how serious he is.

@tagesschau Kusch, kusch, Europa! Der große amerikanische Käse spricht und die #eu hat gefälligst zu tun, was #taco #trump sagt.
Du meine Güte, haben wir wenig Rückgrat!
Dabei ist Europa eine gigantische Handelsmacht ...

This #USPol scenario is on my mind:
#Trump, having seen #inflation stabilized since he first implemented some #tariffs, thinks he's smarter than economists.
Self-confident and tired of ppl calling his #TACO bluff, he holds firm on the deadline. Markets crash. We get #Stagflation. He gets causation backwards and fires Jerome Powell to get his big rate cuts. Ppl flip to TIPs and abandon regular Treasuries. Mortgage rates soar. Trump panics. He fires BLS/BEA workers to fix the numbers. Doom loop.
CS: #USPol #Tariff #TACO
Trump is back to threatening Mexico, Canada and Europe with tariffs.
Once again, Trump is a one trick pony who is obsessed with tariffs despite history and economists showing that it’s American consumers that will pay the costs.
In 2016, Trump’s obsession was building the wall. In four years, Trump built less than 1.5 miles per year.

@wdlindsy If this essentially amount to burning down his own country, I say, let him at it. He refuses to understand how this works; and countries who pander to him by giving some concessions are only going to get hit with another punishment of some kind soon enough again. Time to ignore his tarriff threats and build business links with everyone else.
Also, these tariff threats are nothing more than pump and dump. His associates will and have done this already in his previous such announcements - it enriches those in his circle; but only if the stock market and other countries react to each tariff announcement. Have they not learned this already?
Ignore. Walk away. Do something else. Trade elsewhere; and the result will be #TACO.

@GottaLaff We don't believe him. He will chicken out again just like he has done for every other "deadline" he sets. #TACO
@GottaLaff
I'm waiting for the #taco announcement.
